Very messianic psalm.
Psalm 111 Anon.; 10 vrs.; maybe allusions
Praise for God's works.
111.1 with all my heart... This is the constant struggle, the single, undivided heart.
111.5 those who fear him...
111.10 all those who practice it have a good understanding...
Psalm 112 Anon.; 10 vrs.; 112.9--2 Corinthians 9.9
The man who fears God.
112.1 the man who fears the Lord... The fear of the Lord results in delighting in God's commandments. We light in things we value.
112.5 the man who deals generously and lends... Characteristics of the man who fears the Lord (vrs.1)
112.9 he has given to the poor. It is interesting and instructive that this behavior makes the wicked angry.
Psalm 113 Anon.; 9 vrs.; --??
The Lord who is high lifts up the lowly.
113.3 This verse sets out the agenda for the day. Now we have to focus on how.
113.7 Again the lifting up of the poor seen as a Godly thing to do.

Psalm 116 Anon.; 19 vrs.; 116.10--2 Corinthians 4.13
116.6 One man and God is a majority.
116.8 This is so-o-o-o-o true.
116.17 and recount the deeds of the Lord... This should be a focus we have.
Psalm 117 Anon.; 2 vrs.; 117.1--Romans 15.11
117.1 the nations... The Lord wants praise from all the world.
Psalm 118 Anon.; 29 vrs.; 118.6 Hebrews 13.6
118.6 A source of contentment.
118.8 This is so true!
